nope thats the stock recovery...do the heimdall thing and this time watch your phone when the blue line hits the other side hold vol up and power at the same time...let go of power when the logo appers then vol after it boots to viper.........dont take your eye of the phone as when the blue line starts it goes pretty quick...

Root via the poot method installing Superuser by Chains. Install SuperSU by Chainfire over Superuser granting it su privileges to update the su binary and uninstall Superuser. From a terminal emulator you use dd the cwm recovery.img to mmcblk0p12. I've had zero issues song or this way.

Poot doesn't do a very good job for rooting the centura, it roots it but its not a FULL root, it causes issues with some things later depending on the mod, use daddy366's rooting method for the Centura and you'll have no issues whatsoever.

Haven't had a single issue with any of the Area51 mods after gaining root with poot.

That's good. I hope it stays that way. But beware of running into problems in the future. We have had many people run into some serious problems with the Centura because of Poot. It doesn't fully root the Centura.

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”—Will Rogers

Noob. Picked up Centura w/Droid 4.0 free. Trying to root. Downloaded files to desktop on Windows. Extracted CWM tar. Odin 3.07.zip cannot unzip. File size =176k says it is not a valid .zip file.Don't see any PDA place. As soon as I enter download mode, there is no box to check or uncheck, simply push volume up for new OS. Do so with verified data cable and it goes into download mode and hangs.Any thoughts?Thanks.
